As a parent, I can say this game is great for kids (and adults, of course) but one fundamental flaw ruins it for our family.
Unless you have at least a half hour to spare, and longer in some cases, you cannot get to a save point. I repeat: you must play for a LONG time (especially young kids who cannot rush through a level) in order to get to a save point.
This means you may sit for 40 minutes and have to leave, or simply want your kids to stop playing - and the level must be played from the very beginning.
Graphics and gameplay are fun, and the execution of "painting" levels is nice. The environments are great. Unfortunately, we will never see whatever comes after level 2 because we do not want to leave the unit on and generally will not spend an hour playing.
May not seem like much, but, for us (8.5 year old daughter, 6.5 year old son) the frustration of having to restart every time has made even my game-loving kids want to avoid it.
Not recommended unless you have a lot of time

When I first heard about this game, I really didn't know what to think of it, but previews and videos convinced me to make the plunge. I'll start by saying that de Blob is one of the most unique platformer titles available on any console. This game is what you would expect if Super Mario Sunshine, Okami, Jet Grind Radio and Katamari Damacy had a love-child together and raised it in a jazz club populated with hippie jelly beans. You run around the different black-and-white levels playing Blob, who happens to be a blob of paint. Similar to Okami, the more you play, the more the world around you changes. As you touch things such as buildings or trees they become drenched in paint matching your current color and vibrant patterns. There are puzzles along with traditional platform challenges. It doesn't do anything particularly new, but the combinations of gameplay elements found within are well thought out and very engaging when the paint-the-world aspect comes into play.

DeBlob is a game that has always LOOKED great. Through screenshots and early gameplay footage, it's always looked like a very promising title. Even the box art LOOKS great, but with the power of current gen consoles, a lot of games can look great, and play horribly. DeBlob thankfully lives up to its style and graphical prowess. The game is just as fun as it looks like it would be.
You play the part of a paint ball, jumping around a gray world, painting the town red (or green, yellow, orange, etc.) Meanwhile the evil 'Inkies' are dead set on keeping things dull and rubbing you out. The people of a the world are depressed and oppressed, and it's up to you and an underground group of rebels to set them free.
The game is just FUN. It's great fun jumping from building to building slopping paint around everywhere you go. Even on the load screen, you can point the wiimote at the screen and doodle while you're waiting. The game just oozes with personality. It's got the dry sense of

Galaxy was getting too hard so I needed a new game. This game is perfect!! I just got it last night, so I haven't gotten too far into it, but so far I love it. Its good for any age depending on how high of a score you are looking to get. The only problem I have is that you jump and "pound" differently that Galaxy so that will take some time to get used too.

de Blob is a fantastic original game with beautiful graphics, a cool jazzy soundtrack, and lots of fun challenges to keep you occupied. The presentation is top notch as the developer obviously put a lot of thought, energy, and humor into the creation of this game. There's a range of difficulty to the challenges and goals so there's really something to appeal to different types of gamers. More casual gamers can just roll Blob around and color buildings while hardcore gamers can go for 100% completion and try to complete tougher and tougher challenges with time limits. Whatever your desired challenge level, you're bound to have a great time playing this game.
The graphics are crisp, clean, and most of all, colorful. The game runs in full 480p widescreen for those that have an HDTV and have invested in the Wii's component video cable for the proper connection. de Blob's graphics are a big part of its unique style and fun factor.
I can't give the jazzy soundtrack enough praise. It provides

De Blob is a great concept for a video game. The gameplay is simple and straightforward, but challenging enough for any age. Although comparable to another cult fave, Katamari Damacy, this game has a little bit more of a puzzle element to it, although nothing too taxing. This is one of the best third-party games for the Wii to date.
